Talk:Velia Abdel-Huda

Problems with this article

 * 1) Title - Her name is Abu al-Huda, not Abdel-Huda. The two heavily referenced obituaries from 2013 probably used the same source. Books, including the one by Freya Stark specify Abu al-Huda (or other variants transcribing أبو الهدى)
 * 2) Her father - There were two Abu al-Huda who served as PMs of Transjordan. Hasan Abu Al-Huda (1870-1936) and Tawfik Abu Al-Huda (1894-1956). Freya Stark states that her father died several years before WWII, which corresponds with the former. In addition, if you read the articles about these men, you will see that Hasan's biography matches the text here.
 * 3) Sources - The article mainly relies on two obituary articles, one of whose link is broken.
